  • Notes 
    • Gen. Dic. of ME & NH by Noyes; pare 405: "KNIGHT Samuel, Kit., 40 in 1699, received a grant of 15 acres at Great Cove 27 July 1676 from his father-in-law Richard Carle, whose wife Amy was certainly mother of Knight's wife Amy. Altho Carle claimed that he delivered this instrument while drunk, it was held good and Knight sold to Samuel Spinney in 1686. An educated man, he drew local deeds, poss. too freely as he was once accused of forgery. As tenant of Widow Jane Withers, he built and lived on her Spruce Creek land. Lists 287,330e. In 1682 he and his wife sold land [Doctors Island] which had been part of land of Edw. Clark, there being no explanation of their title." His age was listed as 40 years old in 1689.
